I wouldn't go that far. If Samus is only the suit, Samus becomes the generic space marine. The very fact that she is a woman sets her apart. That she is a total badass only makes it better. @general topic I think I have come to agree that Nintendo went to far with the first Metroid. I have no problem with the leotard for one ending. I think it leaves no mistaking that she is a woman under the powersuit. Only removing the helmet for one of the endings I think can leave thinks a little ambiguous given the technology. That there is another ending where she ends up in a bikini does go to far. It turns Samus into the award. |
Remember, it was the 80s, the only time or place in history outside of porno films where mullets were acceptable, and where long male hair in epic fantasy was an in-thing. Especially with the whole "JUSTIN BAILEY" thing, Samus would have been more androgynous than SSBM Marth under NES technology without that bikini.
